"Keep full color support in themes" (review on 6a4c7dc). The draft left
dropping the Rgb arm as a live choice, because clause 4's protection against
losing a user's terminal theme is a property of the SHIPPED THEME rather than
of the TYPE — weaker than the unconstructible-bad-state shape this repo
usually reaches for. The answer settles it: the arm stays.
Recorded as a REJECTED ALTERNATIVE with its reasoning rather than deleted,
and as the sixth entry in "What the user decided". The substance of the
change is small; what it fixes is that the weakness is now a CHOSEN cost
rather than an unexamined one, which is the difference between a trade-off
and an oversight.
One distinction stated explicitly because it is the easy misreading: "full
colour support in themes" is about what the FORMAT MAY EXPRESS; the
shipped-theme rule is about what IMPROVISE'S OWN DEFAULT SAYS. They are
independent and clause 4 keeps both. If the intent was also that the shipped
default use absolute colour, that is a different change and would reopen the
regression clause 4 exists to prevent — so it is flagged rather than
inferred, cheap to correct either way.
Sibling sweep, since this touched a clause, an alternative and a deferral:
the status line, the intro and the section intro all claimed five answers
and now say five plus the one they left standing.
